Remember in 2007, the entire roster was up for grabs, but the Sox traded Iguchi and Mackowiak. I doubt a full on gutting of the roster takes place.

Why on earth is the Sox BEST hitter batting 8th and 9th consistently? #fireVentura

Heard a good 30 minute analysis on MLB Radio on XM on this very subject during spring training. He has no cartilage in his knee and can't push off the mound. IE: He is done.

I read through the WSI thread, and I can see why some of the folks there are peeved. Full year season ticket holders literally got no notice of the event at all.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 10:40 AM) Anyone have a cardboard cutout of Rachel Phelps hanging around? Better yet, get one of Reinsdorf! Sure. One can be had for the right price. Problem is, this is the White Sox. With that being said, the White Sox would track down the Rachel Phelps of RIGHT NOW, which is a late-50s aging, gross, gray haired, wrinkled saggy old woman whose days as a Hollywood sex symbol are LONG past. Cardboard cutout this..... But this fits right in with the last few years of White Sox acquisitions. *shrug* Manny, Griffey, Alomar, Alomar Jr, etc.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 28, 2013 -> 01:17 AM) He better make the right trades. I still wish he wouldn't trade pitching. Sox are going to be a 60 win team for a long long time to come if he trades off all that pitching. Meh. That might be a stretch. You can sign stopgap replacement level guys on one or two year deals until "whoever" is ready to come up and be a regular rotation guy.

In regards to trading De Aza, what can the Sox expect back? Can we look at the Ben Revere and Denard Span trades as good comps? full-time average season WAR: Ben Revere: 1.1 Denard Span: 2.9 De Aza: 1.4 Minnesota sold high on Span, as he was coming off of his best season, in regards to his "WAR". Although, playing full-time for a whole season now for a few years, De Aza is actaually more valuable than I think we give him credit for...

The good news about trading Rios is that we literally gave up NOTHING to get him except for taking on his contract (during the years he wasn't earning it). So whatever value the Sox are able to get out of trading him is ALL bonus.... boom!

BIG BALLS there by Crain. Too bad these games are now meaningless. Unless, of course, Crain is trying to pitch himself onto a contending team.

Conor Gillaspie has posted a 687 OPS thus far in 2013. Granted its only 55 games but ... We Sox fans complained about Joe Crede for his first 4 seasons.... and he never posted an OPS below 714 in those seasons (2004... which was his lowest OPS for a full time season). Yes, Gillaspie sucks.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 13, 2013 -> 09:11 PM) Oh noes... https://twitter.com/CaptainOmo/status/34528...1946113/photo/1 OK, quick roster check... who on the Rays could the Sox use *cough* everyone on the roster *cough*

here's my crazy trade idea: Trade Seth Loman to the Orioles for cash considerations.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ May 30, 2013 -> 02:09 PM) They've done that all year Then clearly, they want the season to be over with.

The sox are swining early in counts. Obviously want this game to be over with.

Quick, someone email BROOKS! Sox should wear these jerseys on Saturdays...

Coop will fix him

seriously. f*** me. I am turning off this game and stopping my silly predictions.

Here comes a grand slam by a pitcher.... So we can see it on the highlight shows for the next 15 years.

I like that the Sox are at least losing badly now. I can make fun of my own team if they lose badly. If they lose well-played, well-pitched 2-1, 3-2 games, its frustrating. At least I can have a laffriot or two with 2013 southside s***show.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2013 -> 01:06 PM) The idea of Peavy getting traded to a team that wants a starting pitcher down the stretch in a pennant race amuses me, but only due to Peavy's questionable ability to pitch in the clutch. http://baltimore.orioles.mlb.com/mlb/prosp...ex.jsp?c_id=bal Then select "Baltimore Orioles"

Ima go out on a limb here yous guys and predict a trade to the Orioles for Jack Peavmann today.

if Charlie Haeger were still on the Sox this s*** wouldn't be happening.

goddammit

Ima go out on a limb here yous guys and predict a complete game shut out for Jack Peavmann today.
